The piece opens with the Greek words "Kyrie eleison, Christe eleison", repeated many times: Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy . . .

This is followed by elements of the Latin Gloria: "And on earth peace, goodwill to all men". "We praise Thee, we bless Thee, we glorify Thee, we give thanks to Thee on account of Thy great glory. O Lord God, King of Heaven, almighty Father".

The solo: Lord, the Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ, Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father who lifts the sins of the world, have mercy upon us, receive our prayers, You who sits on the right hand of the Father have mercy upon us; Because you are the Holy One, the Only Lord, the Highest, Jesus Christ; with the Holy Spirit in Glory, God the Father, Amen (Amen is repeated many times).

This is followed by further Latin prayers: the Credo, the Sanctus, the Agnus Dei and ends with the phrase "Dona nobis pacem" (Give us peace) repeated many times.
